Prevent Mobile Browsers From Turning Off

The following code has been published to prevent mobile browsers from turning off and going into sleep mode. This was affecting setTimeout functions as the javascript code in the browser is effectively paused preventing the event loop from processing once sleep mode is activated. I originally looked at nosleep.js but ended up simplifying the code and putting it into a standard module for Vue.js

The code works by looping through a video which tricks the browser in to keeping the screen on.

Usage:

npm install –save stayawake.js

import StayAwake from 'stayawake.js';

StayAwake.init();

StayAwake.enable();

Once enabled a silent, hidden video element will play and the mobile device will stay awake on the page.
